  2. Modes of communication • unicast • 11 • Point-to-point • anycast • 1nearest 1 of several identical nodes • Introduced with IPv6; used with BGP • netcast • 1 many, 1 at a time • multicast • 1many • group communication • broadcast • 1all

  3. Groups Groups are dynamic • Created and destroyed • Processes can join or leave • May belong to 0 or more groups Send message to one entity • Deliver to entire group Deal with collection of processes as one abstraction

  4. Design Issues • Closed vs. Open • Closed: only group members can sent messages • Peer vs. Hierarchical • Peer: each member communicates with group • Hierarchical: go through coordinator • Managing membership • Distributed vs. centralized • Leaving & joining must be synchronous • Fault tolerance?

  5. ImplementingGroup CommunicationMechanisms

  6. Hardware multicast Hardware support for multicast • Group members listen on network address send addr=a1 listen addr=a1 listen addr=a1 listen addr=a1

  7. discard id=m accept id=m accept id=m discard id=m accept id=m Hardware broadcast Hardware support for broadcast • Software filters multicast address • May be auxiliary address broadcast(id=m)

  8. send(a1) send(a3) send(a1) Software: netcast Multiple unicasts (netcast) • Sender knows group members listen local addr=a2 listen local addr=a3 listen local addr=a5

  9. send(a1) send(a3) send(c) send(a1) Software Multiple unicasts via group coordinator • coordinator knows group members coordinator listen local addr listen local addr listen local addr

  10. Reliability of multicasts

  11. Atomic multicast Atomicity Message sent to a group arrives at all group members • If it fails to arrive at any member, no member will process it. Problems Unreliable network • Each message should be acknowledged • Acknowledgements can be lost Message sender might die

  12. Achieving atomicity (2-phase commit variation) Retry through network failures & system downtime Sender and receivers maintain persistent log • Send message to all group members • Each receiver acknowledges message • Saves message and acknowledgement in log • Does not pass message to application • Sender waits for all acknowledgements • Retransmits message to non-responding members • Again and again… until response received • Sender sends “go” message to all members • Each recipient passes message to application • Sends reply to server

  13. Achieving atomicity Phase 1: • Make sure that everyone gets the message Phase 2: • Once everyone has confirmed receipt, let the application see it All members will eventually get the message

  14. Reliable multicast Best effort • Assume sender will remain alive • Retransmit undelivered messages • Send message • Wait for acknowledgement from each group member • Retransmit to non-responding members

  15. Unreliable multicast • Basic multicast • Hope it gets there

  16. Message ordering

  17. message a message b a b Good Ordering order received a, b Process 0 a, b

  18. message a message b a b Bad Ordering order received a, b Process 0 b, a

  19. order received message a a, b a b message b a, b Good Ordering Process 0 Process 1

  20. order received message a a, b a b message b b, a Bad Ordering Process 0 Process 1

  21. Sending versus Delivering • Multicast receiver algorithm decides when to deliver a message to the process. • A received message may be: • Delivered immediately(put on a delivery queue that the process reads) • Placed on a hold-back queue(because we need to wait for an earlier message) • Rejected/discarded(duplicate or earlier message that we no longer want)

  22. Sending, delivering, holding back sender receiver delivering Multicast sendingalgorithm delivery queue ? sending hold-back queue discard Multicast receiving algorithm

  23. Global time ordering • All messages arrive in exact order sent • Assumes two events never happen at the exact same time! • Difficult (impossible) to achieve

  24. Total ordering • Consistent ordering • All messages arrive at all group members in the same order • Implementation: • Attach unique totally sequenced message ID • Receiver delivers a message to the application only if it has received all messages with a smaller ID 1. If a process sends m before m’then any other process that delivers m’ will have delivered m. 2. If a process delivers m’ before m” then every other process will have delivered m’ before m”.

  25. Causal ordering • Partial ordering • Messages sequenced by Lamport or Vector timestamps • Implementation • Deliver messages in timestamp order per-source. If multicast(G,m) -> multicast(G, m’)then every process that delivers m’ will have delivered m

  26. Sync ordering • Messages can arrive in any order • Special message type • Synchronization primitive • Ensure all pending messages are delivered before any additional (post-sync) messages are accepted

  27. FIFO ordering • Messages can be delivered in different order to different members • Message m must be delivered before message m’ iff m was sent before m’ from the same host If a process issues a multicast of m followed by m’, then everyprocess that delivers m’ will have already delivered m.

  28. Unordered multicast • Messages can be delivered in different order to different members • Order per-source does not matter.

  29. Multicasting considerations atomic Reliability reliable unreliable sync total global causal unordered unordered FIFO Message Ordering

  30. IP Multicasting

  31. IP Broadcasting • 255.255.255.255 • Limited broadcast: send to all connected networks • Host bits all 1 (128.6.255.255, 192.168.0.255) • Directed broadcast on subnet

  32. 28-bit multicast address 1110 IP Multicasting Class D network created for IP multicasting 224.0.0.0/4 224.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255 Host group • Set of machines listening to a particular multicast address

  33. IP multicasting • Can span multiple physical networks • Dynamic membership • Machine can join or leave at any time • No restriction on number of hosts in a group • Machine does not need to be a member to send messages

  34. IP multicast addresses • Addresses chosen arbitrarily • Well-known addresses assigned by IANA • Internet Assigned Numbers Authority • RFC 1340 • Similar to ports – service-based allocation • FTP: port 21, SMTP: port 25, HTTP: port 80 224.0.0.1: all systems on this subnet 224.0.0.2: all multicast routers on subnet 224.0.1.16: music service 224.0.1.2: SGI’s dogfight 224.0.1.7: Audionews service

  35. LAN (Ethernet) multicasting LAN cards support multicast in one (or both) of two ways: • Packets filtered based on hash(mcast addr) • Some unwanted packets may pass through • Simplified circuitry • Exact match on small number of addresses • If host needs more, put LAN card in multicast promiscuous mode • Receive all hardware multicast packets Device driver must check to see if the packet was really needed

  36. LAN (Ethernet) multicasting example Intel 82546EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet Supports: • 16 exact MAC address matches • 4096-bit hash filter for multicast frames • promiscuous unicast & promiscuous multicast transfer modes

  37. IP multicast on a LAN • Sender specifies class D address in packet • Driver must translate 28-bit IP multicast group to multicast Ethernet address • IANA allocated range of Ethernet MAC addresses for multicast • Copy least significant 23 bits of IP address to MAC address • 01:00:5e:xx:xx:xx • Send out multicast Ethernet packet • Contains multicast IP packet Bottom 23 bitsof IP address

  38. IP multicast on a LAN Joining a multicast group Receiving process: • Notifies IP layer that it wants to receive datagrams addressed to a certain host group • Device driver must enable reception of Ethernet packets for that IP address • Then filter exact packets

  39. Beyond the physical network Packets pass through routers which bridge networks together Multicast-aware routerneeds to know: • are any hosts on a LAN that belong to a multicast group? IGMP: • Internet Group Management Protocol • Designed to answer this question • RFC 1112 (v1), 2236 (v2), 3376 (v3)

  40. IGMP v1 • Datagram-based protocol • Fixed-size messages: • 20 bytes header, 8 bytes data • 4-bit version • 4-bit operation (1=query by router, 2=response) • 16-bit checksum • 32-bit IP class D address

  41. Joining multicast group with IGMP • Machine sends IGMP report: • “I’m interested in this multicast address” • Each multicast router broadcasts IGMP queries at regular intervals • See if any machines are still interested • One query per network interface • When machine receives query • Send IGMP response packet for each group for which it is still interested in receiving packets

  42. Leaving a multicast group with IGMP • No response to an IGMP query • Machine has no more processes which are interested • Eventually router will stop forwarding packets to network when it gets no IGMP responses

  43. IGMP enhancements • IGMP v2 • Leave group messages added • Useful for high-bandwidth applications • IGMP v3 • Hosts can specify list of hosts from which they want to receive traffic. • Traffic from other (unwanted) hosts is blocked by the routers and hosts.

  44. The end.
